Real-Time Seafloor Segmentation and Mapping [PDF]
Posidonia oceanica meadows are a species of seagrass highly dependent on rocks for their survival and conservation. In recent years, there has been a concerning global decline in this species, emphasizing the critical need for efficient monitoring and ...

Multispectral Multibeam Echo Sounder Backscatter as a Tool for Improved Seafloor Characterization
The establishment of multibeam echosounders (MBES), as a mainstream tool in ocean mapping, has facilitated integrative approaches towards nautical charting, benthic habitat mapping, and seafloor geotechnical surveys. The combined acoustic response of the

Novel Approaches to Seafloor Mapping in the Northwest Atlantic
Although oceans cover nearly three-quarters of the earth, studies estimate that only a fraction of the seafloor has been mapped at a resolution higher than 1km2.
